2024 Wilson A2k B23 12" Pitcher / 3B / Softball

2024 Wilson A2K B23 swordsman. All black leather with black snakeskin and saddle tan accents. Typical A2k quality materials and construction. Double Palm construction and dual welting for stability and longevity. Beautiful glove with single piece wrap around wrist piece (no seam). The solid one piece closed web gives a tough look on the mound while keeping your grips safe from prying eyes. The B23 model comes with a larger pinky slot to make it more comfortable with 2 in the pinky (TIP) The 12" B23 just slightly larger than my Rawlings 12" PRO1000 / 206 model and plays just as wide and deep. Will also handle a 12" softball. * "For pitchers seeking a sure fit from their glove, the A2k B23 boasts a modified wrist strap to hug the back of the hand and wider pinky stall to accommodate multiple fingers. Wilson Master Glove Craftsman Shigeaki Aso designed the A2k B23 to create a secure fit while pitching and fielding, helping hurlers to eliminate distractions and focus their attention on the strike zone. Inspired by Japanese design, a Closed One-piece Swordsman Web" (Wilson website) The wrist strap is new for the B23, 1723/1724 models (which all have the ability for TIP) which has a slight offset to protect the knuckles while wearing TIP. This helps keep the glove secure while pitching or getting to the ball, not just in the fielding process. Very lightly used, never on the field, basically NWOT (tag has been removed from the wrist). There is no visible wear or break in on the glove. I will not be reducing the price any further nor accepting lower offers for this glove.

The Wilson A2000 softball glove is renowned for its exceptional quality, performance, and durability. Featuring Spin Control Technology, which provides enhanced grip for secure catches and quicker transfers. The A2000 also has Pro Stock Leather, known for its unmatched feel, durability, and ability to break in perfectly to the player’s hand.

This is my glove of choice. I own two right now and can't say enough about its excellent durability. The A2000 has good pop and comes in a model known as "super skin," which makes it feel lighter. It's also designed with a deeper pocket so players can quickly field the ball and transfer it to their throwing hand. If a player keeps a ball in the pocket when it's not in use and conditions the leather, the A2000 should last about four years, compared to more beginner gloves, which typically last about one year.
